The storytelling mix, staying findable and giving people options

So, you’re on board with video and starting to churn them out regularly, well done! Management is probably stoked, everyone is feeling proud and maybe you’ve even had something go viral on social.

Best of all, your clients or customers that have watched the videos are probably feeling an increased sense of emotional connection to your work or your brand, have a better understanding of what you’re all about, and are well on their way to becoming your #1 fans.

While I will always believe in the power of great wordage (see what I did there), there is no ignoring the rise and rise of video as one of the most effective ways to reach your audience and tell a story.

The internet is awash with impressive video statistics. Did you know that social video generates 1,200 per cent more shares than text and images combined? (Brightcove, 2016).

We took the opportunity to pop out to lunch with executive producer David Woodcock, to get his take on some of the video-related questions we often hear from clients. Here’s what he had to say.
